Our core values: Quality, Safety, Environmental
Care
The values and qualities that Volvo Penta expresses are what
make the company unique. From the very beginning, safety
and quality have stood at the heart of the development of all of
our products, processes, and services. It is on these values
and qualities that the Volvo Penta corporate identity, brand po-
sition and legal status have been founded. Today’s core values
of quality, safety, and care for the environment remain central
to Volvo Penta. They express what we believe in as a company
and will ultimately help us to survive.
Quality
is a value that traditionally referred to product quality
but now encompasses all aspects of our products and servic-
es. In today’s competitive environment, Volvo Penta’s quality
commitment extends beyond industrial craftsmanship and en-
gineering ingenuity to embrace care for the customer through-
out the life of the product.
Safety
will always be our most distinguishing core value. His-
torically embedded in the quality of all Volvo products, it also
encompasses personal, family, business, and environmental
values.
Environmental care
in all operations, from design to produc-
tion, distribution, service, and recycling, is an integral part of
the Volvo quality commitment towards customers, employees,
and the community. By embracing the environment as a core
value, Volvo demonstrates its understanding of the environ-
mental impact its products have upon nature and the shared
urban and rural surroundings.
Volvo Penta continually commits a considerable part of its de-
velopment resources toward minimizing the environmental im-
pact of its products. Examples of areas where we are always
looking for improvements are exhaust emissions, noise levels,
and fuel consumption.
Regardless of whether your Volvo Penta engine is installed in
a boat used for pleasure or commercial operation, incorrect op-
eration or improper maintenance of the engine will result in dis-
turbance or damage to the environment.
In this owner’s manual there are a number of service proce-
dures, which, if not followed, will lead to an increase in the en-
gine’s impact on the environment, and on running costs and a
reduction in service life. Always observe recommended ser-
vice intervals and make a habit of checking that the engine is
operating normally every time you use it. Contact an autho-
rized Volvo Penta dealer if you cannot correct the fault your-
self.
Remember that most chemicals used on boats are harmful to
the environment if used incorrectly. Volvo Penta recommends
the use of biodegradable degreasing agents for all cleaning.
Always dispose of engine and transmission oil waste, old paint,
degreasing agents and cleaning residue etc. at proper dispos-
al areas so that they do not harm the environment.
Adapt speed and distance during your boat trips so that swell
and noise generated by the boat do not disturb or harm wildlife,
moored boats, docks, etc. Wherever you land or cruise, please
show consideration and always leave the areas you visit as
you would like to find them yourself.
